e1491b341b kernel: mtdsplit: modify rootfs helpers to provide partition type
Our mtdsplit parsers may want to create partition with name choice based
on partition file system (e.g. SquashFS vs. JFFS2). This patch allows
passing extra argument pointing to variable that will be set properly.

bdd2772f1d kernel: mtdsplit: add support for brnImages
This adds brnImage (used with the brnboot bootloader) firmware parsing
support. brnboot verifies the integrity of the firmware stored on the
"Code Image" partitions by looking at the 12 byte footer at the very end
of the partition. This footer contains the checksum of the original
brnImage (kernel + rootfs/squashfs) and must not be touched (by our JFFS2
rootfs_data - otherwise the image will not be bootable anymore).

Big thanks to Mathias Kresin for analyzing the brnImage structure and
finding out the information how to keep images valid even when adding a
nested rootfs_data partition.
